Requests for license reviewer rights[edit]
(Translate) (purge this page's cache)
|
Before requesting, please read Commons:License review and relevant pages such as Flickr files.
To become a reviewer, you need to be familiar with the general licensing policy of Commons and the common practices of reviewing. A reviewer is required to know which Creative Commons licenses are allowed and disallowed on Wikimedia Commons. You should be dedicated to license reviewing every so often and offer your help in the backlogs. You can demonstrate your knowledge by regularly participating in deletion requests or New Files Patrol.
Post your request below and be prepared to respond to questions. The community may voice their opinions or ask a few questions to verify the applicant's knowledge. After a few days, a reviewer or administrator determines whether there are no severe objections to the applicant. If there are not, the user will close the request and add the applicant to the list of reviewers. If permissions are granted, you can add {{User reviewer}} (or one of its variants) to your user page and begin reviewing images.
Click the button to submit your request. Alternatively, copy the code below to the bottom of this page, and only replace "Reason" with the reason you are requesting this user right. Requests will be open for a minimum of two days (48 hours).
=={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}==
{{subst:LRR|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|Reason ~~~~}}
To close a request, please wrap the entire section excluding the section heading with {{Frh}} and {{Frf}}. If the request is successful, please leave this message {{subst:image-reviewerWelcome}}--~~~~ on the applicant's user talk page.

SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 1 day and sections whose most recent comment is older than 5 days. |

Oppose I would like to see more activity for example tagging copyvios. Just linking to deletion requests where their only participation has been to support the majority opinion does not lead me to support Bedivere (talk) 00:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)- I have the same opinion with Bedivere. Phương Linh (talk) 02:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- And the Windows XP screenshot, which he supported keeping, should've been deleted as copyvio. Bedivere (talk) 03:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Reason: I am an active contributor to Wikimedia Commons, focusing on uploading files from Flickr and YouTube. During my contributions, I've identified and tagged numerous copyright violations for speedy deletions. However, I've observed a backlog of images needing review. I am keen on obtaining license review rights to help reduce this backlog. This will enhance my contributions and ensure the integrity of Wikimedia Commons. Thank you for considering my request. — doclys (❀) 12:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)- Reason: I've been actively contributing to Wikimedia Commons for a while now, mainly uploading files/images from Flickr and some are from YouTube. Along the way, I've come across a lot of copyvios, which I've tagged for deletion (I also use this tool to find other copyvios). And I've noticed that there's a growing backlog of images that need reviewing (like from Flickr and YouTube). I believe I can help with this. Thank you! — doclys (❀) 15:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Neutral - The AI generated request puts me off immediately. @Doclys, I would suggest writing it in your own words. Seawolf35 (talk) 14:53, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Seawolf35 and @Bedivere, I believe that the text is still my own. I've used AI to formalize it, but I think it is not ok. I've rewritten my request in my original style. Thank you! — doclys (❀) 15:53, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- That's better. I would like to suggest you to create a user page, too. Bedivere (talk) 17:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
